Single and multi-piece patient positioner units in the form of an elongated plastic plate or board, hereafter “peg board”, having a plurality of peg holes for receiving patient positioning pegs are currently used to support a patient during surgical procedures.
The peg board is generally co-extensive with the hospital O.R. table and is removably secured to the side rails thereof by means of clamps.
One such modular patient positioner unit is described within U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/097,626 filed Apr. 4, 2005 entitled “Modular Surgical Patient Positioner”, which application is incorporated herein for purposes of reference.
When hip surgery is performed on a patient, an extended hip positioner plate, such as a type CJ-001 supplied by Cj Medical Inc. is generally employed to secure the patient in a stable fashion and to eliminate movement when the patient is supine or in the lateral position.
It would be both cost and space savings effective to provide a single patient positioner unit having facility for multiple surgical function including hip and knee surgery with only minor modification to the unit to capture the patient in the supine or in the lateral position.
One purpose of the instant invention is to provide a radiolucent board having a plurality of peg holes for receiving patient positioning pegs, and which includes means for temporary attachment of an elongated plastic plate with side rails to attach accessories.
A modular surgical patient positioner unit is disclosed having a plastic rectangular peg board arranged for attachment to a hospital surgical O.R. table. A plastic linear extension board is attached to the peg board by means of a perforated metal bridging plate. An elongated metal support bar is fastened along one side of the linear extension board for added strength, functionality and accessory attachment.
The bridging plate 26, in the form of a rectangular metal plate 27, which includes bridging plate openings 28, is positioned over part of the peg board 10 and part of the extender board 15 so that some of the bridging plate openings 28 align with some of the peg board openings 12 while some other bridging plate openings 28 align with some other of the extender board openings 17.
A dual configuration metal locking pin 29 is positioned intermediate the bridging plate 26 and the peg board 10 and one of the locking pin top extensions 30 is inserted within one of the bridging plate openings 28 in press-fit relation and one of the locking pin bottom extensions 31 is inserted within a corresponding one of the peg board openings 12 in press-fit relation.
A similar metal locking pin 29′ is positioned intermediate the bridging plate 26 and the extender plate 15 and one of the locking pin top extensions 30′ is inserted within one of the bridging plate openings 28 a in press-fit relation and one of the locking pin bottom extensions 31′ is inserted within a corresponding one of the extender plate openings 17 in press-fit relation to securely fasten the bridging plate 26 to both the peg board 10 and the extender plate 15. Although only two such locking pins 29, 29′ are depicted for purposes of clarity, two further locking pins (not shown) are similarly attached to the opposite side of the bridging plate 26 and are connected with the peg board 10 and the extender plate 15 in a similar manner.
The modular surgical positioner unit 9 is shown in
The side support bar 22 also functions to support additional surgical support devices within the operating room sterile field, such as the IMP Knee Positoner (not shown) supplied by IMP Inc. of Plainville, Conn. The bridging plate 26 which further secures the peg board 10 to the extender board 15 by means of the locking pins 29 whereby the top extensions 30 extend within the openings 28, as described earlier, is accordingly an important feature of the invention.
A modular surgical positioner unit for a variety of hip and knee surgery procedures has been herein disclosed. The extender board and the peg board components can be separately employed for other type surgical procedures at substantial cost savings to the operating facility.
